About the farm
Stone house Farm is Located at the heart of the rural and idyll landscapes of Busu village in Iganga District .
The land that once belonged to my late Father now houses our small farm, where our neighbors are like family. Although the farm has made rapid progress, we are in need of assistance to realize our dream for it. We are hardworking individuals who also value spending time with wonderful people, and we prioritize community involvement.
In Busu village or Iganga in Uganda, rural living means more than just location. It’s about embracing the various opportunities that country life in Uganda offers, from tending to animals to enjoying outdoor activities.
The farm is anchored by its main zones which include the goats Unit, poultry unit, gardens, Fruit Orchard, Campsites, Farm stay, Picnic site and lean grounds, village road for cycling or walking.
We have a farm stay where you can escape the bustle of urban life and connect with Nature.

Catch up with friends and family, hold your meetings, celebrate your birthday, or just chill by the farm side!
The Background.
In Africa, Agriculture is everyone’s business. Approximately, two thirds of the Sub-Saharan African population on family farms. In Uganda specifically, 72% of the population is directly or indirectly employed in agriculture.
Consequently, national progression depends on its development because it enables the population to escape the scourge of food insecurity, gain meaningful employment and uplift household incomes to drive economic growth. No doubt, the sector offers the greatest potential to eradicate poverty and reduce inequality across societies. Most paramount, farmers are the last line of defence in preserving Africa’s natural heritage and environmental assets as farms are mostly rural-based on a continent that is home to the biggest chunk of arable land on the globe
